Welcome to the Pacific Forum Women Experts Directory, a list of women experts on Indo-Pacific security issues. Our goal for the directory is to facilitate access to a comprehensive list of women experts, thus actively supporting and promoting gender parity in speaker panels, policy papers, consultations, and other security-related initiatives. By simplifying the process of finding and inviting women experts to share their expertise, we hope to fast-track progress toward women’s representation and meaningful participation in the promotion of peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region.
